Disagree.

Everything that goes wrong in the US is due to the legacy of Trump.

Well, it was screwed up before Trump, but very driven by a myriad of factors brought to bear by the right wing .
The right wing crazy machine began a campaign radicalizing people based on culture and against their government. (immigrants are bad, the government is corrupt, private industry knows how to run things, socialism is bad, tea party, blah blah blah.)
It got even more radicalized during Trump as he incited culture fault lines based on race and gave a home for white supremacists, and gun nuts to fester.
America is becoming sectarian. I know several people thinking about leaving their rural and small towns in search of more tolerant communities, which will only exacerbate the polarization between cities and rural communities.

so naturally the whole world is interested in what that culture is, in reality

You say "exporting" like it's being foisted upon you. There would be no 'exporting' if there were no 'buyers'.

Personally I'd love America to be completely isolationist. Let you fuckwads build your own militaries, motion picture industries, pharmaceutical and medical advancements, educational institutions......etc.

Most of your countries suckle at the teat of the US, then have the temerity to talk shit and look down your noses.
